Max Green: All Those Years Ago

“LARISSA! MAX!” we heard Craig scream from his room, Max and I were laughing hysterically as we hide underneath the kitchen table, trying to get as much distance from him as possible. Craig slide into the room, drenched in ice-cold water his teeth bared and his face telling us that we were going to get it. As he took slow but menacing steps forward, water dripped rapidly from his hair, arms, and legs but when he finally reached us his anger got the best of him and he threw the table making it crash into the kitchen wall, that caused Max and I stop laughing immediately.

“This… is… the last straw” he spoke slowly through clenched teeth, Max and I risked a glance at each other, “this!” he exclaimed pointing to himself “isn’t funny. It’s fucking annoying… do it again, and your asses are out of this fucking house and Max you’ll be out of a job” he yelled at us, I couldn’t look at him though. “Do you understand me!?” I yelled again, we nodded our heads fast, “good…” and with that he stalked off to his room. Max and I looked at each other, and of course we started to laugh hysterically, I know we should’ve been scared or something but we couldn’t help but laugh. We got Craig good this time!

After calming down, we sat there in silence for a few moments admiring the prank we pulled, until the silence broke by Max talking “do you think he means it?” he asked staring ahead of himself and frowning, I looked at him “means what?” “Firing me and kicking us out?” I shrugged, “I don’t think so, we’ve pulled worse stuff then that and he’s always threatened us. But I highly doubt he’ll go through with it, I mean you’re an amazing bassist, even if he did kick you out some other band will get at you before you could blink” I reassured him grinning, he looked at me and grinned. “Thanks Larissa, you always know what to say,” he grinned softly, I chuckled and punched him lightly “hey what are friends for?” something seemed to flash in his eyes when I said that, but I couldn’t tell what it was.

Then Max got randomly excited; he hopped onto his knees so he was sitting like a cat “HEY! Let’s go see a movie!” he practically screamed, I giggled I can tell he’s just getting hyper off the idea “okay! What should we see?” I exclaimed starting to get excited, he thought for a moment bouncing up and down, “how about… TWILIGHT!” he screamed like a girl, I slapped him “no!” he started laughing rubbing the spot I slapped him “thanks for bringing me back to my senses!” I giggled “no problem.” “Well since Twilight is out of the question… how about maybe The Last Exorcism or Scott Pilgrim vs. the World?” I thought for a moment, “since I already saw Scott Pilgrim, and I’m in the mood for a scary movie lets go and see the Last Exorcism” Max pumped his fist in the air “ALRIGHT!” then he grabbed me by the hand and we ran out of the house.

When we got into the theater, I was happy to see it was filled which means that we have more chances to scare people during the movie. We smirked at each other as we took a seat in the back. Once the movie started, I’d have to say it was actually creepy, and a lot of people we’re screaming. Max had slipped his arm across my shoulders, thinking I was gonna be scared, “I’m not going to be screaming my head off like these tweenies” I whispered in his ear, I felt him smirk “I know, it’s just a reassurance” I rolled my eyes playfully.

When the credits had started to roll, Max and I agreed a prank which would be: I would walk into the isle like I was about to leave then gasp loud and start to scream and then fall on the floor like I was being possessed or something. Then Max would walk up to me and scream for somebody to help me and start crying to make it look real. I was kind of hesitant at first but Max gave me a little push, and once I did. Let me just say we had everybody screaming and crying, but soon enough the security came and figured out it was just a joke and kicked us out. We were laughing our asses off on the sidewalk outside the Cinema, people walked by and gave us the weirdest stares but I could care less.

When we were finally calm and actually sane for a few moments, I looked at the time on my phone and was surprised to see it was 9:06, Max looked over my shoulder and saw it too and looked at me smiling. “What?” I asked, “I want to show you this place where I go to think and to clear my head” he said sincerely, I smiled “okay then” he entwined his hand with mine and pulled me up, I hid my blushing face by letting my short layered black hair fall in front of it. I don’t know exactly when or how but over the years… I have fallen in love with Max Green.

We finally reached this cliff that was laminated by moonlight, making the place look more beautiful then it probably is. One Weeping Willow tree stood off to the side, it seemed to be in bloom, and the moon was full and large hanging over the cliff I grinned to myself, I never thought Max would ever be in a place like this. “Wow…” I whispered breathlessly, I felt Max squeeze my hand and grin at me as he pulled my forward towards the edge. I tensed up a bit I had a tiny fear of heights, and Max knew that. “It’s alright, I’ll hold onto you you’re not gonna fall” he soothed, as he sat down his feet dangling over the edge, I nodded still a little scared as I slowly sat down next to him. He scooted over to me, and released my hand that he was holding but instead put it around my waist, and held me tight. I blushed again as I looked down at my skinny jeans being sure that he wouldn’t catch another blush.

“Larissa…” he said softly, I looked back at him my blush starting to fade “yeah?” I asked just as soft “can I tell you something?” he asked a blush starting to tint his face, “yeah anything” “but you have to promise me, even if you don’t feel the same way that you’ll still be my friend” he held out his pinky, I grinned “of course Maxi” I said using the nickname I gave him when we were 5, he grinned and took a deep breath and looked right into my hazel eyes his brown ones holding something I haven’t really seen before; love.

“I love you, and I have for the longest time now… I’ve just kept it for all these years” I started to beam at him, and then I hugged him tightly, my arms around his neck. I could tell he was a little shocked by my actions but instead smiled and wrapped his arms around my waist bringing me closer. “Oh Max, I feel the same way. I love you too” I whispered in his ear, I could feel his smile widen as he pulled away and kissed me with a mix of love/lust/passion and tender. "Be my rocker girlfriend?" he asked, I giggled, "of course Maxi!" I exclaimed, he grinned and kissed me one last time before gazing at the moon. “And to think we could’ve been together all those years ago”
